Hi! I have a situation where I use Debian Buster as a compiler machine for my Raspberry Pi 3, which is running Raspbian Buster. I compile on the pi, but use distcc. I've setup distcc on the pi so that it only uses my Debian machine (x86_64 running in a VM) compiles, while the pi does the rest. I'm not using plump mode. On the Debian machine I've installed the cross compiler (arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc)
The problem is that the binary is significant slower when it's compiled using distcc/cross-compiler rather than compiling the binary on the pi itself. The binary I'm compiling is Amiberry, a Amiga 500/1200/4000 emulator for the pi. And the benchmark is a FPU heavy Lighwave 3D render benchmark. If I compile Amiberry on the pi itself the benchmark scene is done in 4m 34s, if using distcc I get 5m 29sec. Almost a minute slower. The only difference is distcc. I have the same CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS on both. Am I doing anything wrong? distcc version on both machines is 3.3.2-10 solskogen@arm-builder-buster:~$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -v Using built-in specs.
